TRIETHANOLAMINE

Duro Kimia is the supplier of high quality Triethanolamines (TEA).

Triethanolamine combines the properties of amines and alcohols, hence it exhibits the unique capability of undergoing reactions common to both groups.

KEY FEATURES

  • Imparts alkalinity to the laundry bath, which is essential in effective cleaning

  • Effective oil and anti-redeposition agent

  • Reacts with lauryl sulphate to form the foaming base surfactant in hair shampoo

  • Neutralizes fatty acids to form excellent emulsifiers for oil-in-water emulsions (gel-type industrial hand cleaners, aerosol shave cream, hand and body lotions)

  • Used as a base component of certain mild bar soap

APPLICATIONS

  • Detergents

  • Personal care products

  • Textile finishing

  • Intermediates in concrete additives and adhesives, rubber, agricultural and photographic chemicals

  • Use as a component in cement grinding aids

  • Use as “down hole” in oil well chemicals

  • Prevents corrosion in metalworking

  • Use as a catalyst to promote stability during the reaction process in the manufacturing of flexible and rigid urethane foams
